Inazuma, Kujo Jinya.

This is the front-line base camp of the shogunate army, and everything that supplies and directs operations in the later period is here.

"General Kujo!"

The soldiers standing guard at the gate of the shogunate camp saw two people descending from the sky, and one of them was still Kujo Sara, so he immediately asked Hou Dao.

"Hmm."

Kujou Sara answered and led Li Qiuzhi into the camp.

"Miss Sarah, are you here to negotiate this afternoon? Miss Sangonomiya probably wouldn't venture here. ”

Li Qiuzhi looked at the heavily guarded camp and asked curiously.

"Naturally, that thoughtful military advisor will not come here, and the place where we negotiated is on the beach at the junction of Kujo Jinya and Tatarasa.

"At that time, in order to prevent accidents, both of us will bring some troops to guard it."

Kujou Sara explained simply.

"I see."

Li Qiuzhi remembered the negotiation scene of the two armies in the original book, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with this:

"Since the general wants me to tell you about peace, then Miss Sara, tell me what kind of conditions the shogunate army can accept."

If he wants to help negotiate peace, he must first know the bottom line of both sides, otherwise it will be difficult to grasp the degree of advance and retreat.

"Well, I'll talk to you about it later."

Kujou Sara naturally understands this, and that's exactly what she's going to do next.

It didn't take long.

The two walked to an Inazuma-style wooden building, also guarded by Shogunate soldiers.

However, with these nine Sara taking the lead, it was naturally easy to walk in without being blocked.

There is a lot of space inside the building.

In the middle, there are two large columns that support the roof, and tables and chairs are placed side by side on either side of the columns.

A little higher in the back, there is also a case with many documents.

Judging from the overall layout, this should be Kujou Sara, the general who commands and directs everything on the front line.

A place to work or discuss action plans with other soldiers.

It's just that now the war between the two sides has stopped, so there are not so many people here as in the past.

Kujou Sara walked to the desk in the back and sat down in a chair there.

She took out a document that had been drawn up and handed it to Li Qiuzhi, and at the same time parted her soft lips and said:

"This is the specific condition that the shogunate needs to agree to on Kaiqi Island, and you don't need to look at it if you have reached a consensus.

"The remaining conditions that are still controversial are the points that need to be troubled for you to persuade peace."

"Well, I'll take a look first."

Li Qiuzhi nodded and found a chair next to him to sit down, he had already understood the place where the two sides of the shogunate and Haiqi Island could not reach an agreement.

Now it's a more detailed explanation.

First of all, regarding the army of Kaiqi Island, the shogunate must have hoped that Kaiqi Island would be disarmed, and then the shogunate army would be stationed to protect Kaiqi Island.

When Li Qiuzhi saw this condition, he knew that it was impossible for Xinhai to agree.

After all, without the armed forces, she could not guarantee that the shogunate army would not turn around and attack the people of Kaiqi Island.

As a living god and shrine maiden, she has to consider various situations.

This kind of thing that cannot grasp the initiative, in other words, Li Qiuzhi will not agree, and it is a big deal to continue to stalemate.

Anyway, the "lockdown order" is gone, and trade has been opened, and Haiqi Island will not be short of supplies in the short term.

I believe that the shogunate also understands this, and the proposal of such a condition that is basically impossible to accept should be just to lower the psychological expectations of the other party.

Make it easier for the Kaiki Island side to accept the shogunate, and other conditions that are not so excessive.

Li Qiuzhi looked at the second condition on which there was no consensus.

This condition is related to taxation, after all, Kaiqi Island is a part of Inazuma, and it is natural that the relevant policies will be finalized after the peace talks.

In this way, the interests of both parties can be protected.

The Kaiki Island side also understands this, and if they can enjoy the protection of the shogunate's various economic and trade policies, they will naturally have to fulfill the corresponding tax obligations.

Haiqi Island also understands, but they feel that the tax rate on Haiqi Island is about 5% higher than that of other cities.

This is very unreasonable.

Originally, Haiqi Island was greatly affected economically because of the war, and they had to pay more taxes, isn't this an act of sprinkling salt on the scars!

Therefore, Haiqi Island did not agree to this condition, and also asked for tax exemption for five or six years to allow them to recuperate.

Normally, the shogunate can collect taxes without discrimination, and it is okay to be generous and exempt for a year or two, but it is indeed inappropriate to raise the tax rate.

After all, this will increase the burden on the residents of Haiqi Island.

It should also be used to lower the psychological expectations on the side of Haiqi Island.

There is still a matter of management of Kaiki Island or something, and the shogunate wants to get involved, so it's no wonder that no consensus has been reached for so long.

"Miss Sarah, are these conditions too harsh, normally people won't agree."

Li Qiuzhi felt a little embarrassed, how could he talk to Xinhai about such conditions.

"I naturally understand this matter, after all, if I don't give them a disadvantage in this regard, I don't know how big they will open!"

Kujou Sara snorted, then continued:

"According to the general's meaning, that military advisor of Haiqi Island, Sangonomiya Kokomi, is a rare talent.

"It's okay for Haiqi Island to want autonomy, but not completely, and it's okay to be tax-free if you want it, but you can't give too much."

When Li Qiuzhi heard Kujou Sara's words, he somewhat understood what the general meant.

In short, Kaiki Island can be autonomous, but it has to be under the supervision of the shogunate. Well, it's still quite reasonable.

"If that's the case, then I should be able to talk to Kokomi and ask her what she means."

Li Qiuzhi pressed his chin and thought for a moment.

"While the formal peace talks have not yet begun, you can go and talk to her now."

Kujou Sara folded his hands under his chest and told Li Qiuzhi the location of the Kai Army's temporary camp in Tatarasa.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best."

Li Qiuzhi nodded lightly and said.

"Well, then please." Kujou Sara expressed his gratitude.

[Kujou Sara has a favorable opinion of you, gaining 300 opinion points, and the current opinion level is 4 (60/400)]

Li Qiuzhi walked out of the camp of the shogunate army, and then looked in the direction of the camp of the Haiqi army.

This time, he was not going to fly over, but was going to use the ability to travel through space, which came from the god-level skill "Radiant Power".

After the "Glowing Sword God" was promoted to the god realm level and obtained an ability similar to the power of a god.

Its characteristics are not only used by the golden sword intent incarnation with the appearance of Ying.

For example, in the past, the feature of "Space Shuttle" required the use of the "Glowing Sword God" to summon the incarnation of sword intent, and let "she" slash out the sword qi to trigger.

Now, even if Li Qiuzhi doesn't summon a sword intent incarnation, he can still use it easily, and he doesn't necessarily have to attack.

Use it on yourself or summon the incarnation of sword intent to realize the silent and shadowless space shuttle on the body, and there is no problem!

There is also a trait such as "Thousand Shadows", after the swordsmanship skill is promoted to the God Domain level, Li Qiuzhi can use it to summon more than one golden sword intent incarnation.

As long as there is energy support and maintenance, you can summon up to a thousand!

But now he wants to maintain the existence of the Sword Intent Phantom, which can only summon a maximum of nine, and then use it to allow "them" to explore the beast realm, presumably the efficiency will be much higher.

I don't care about the duration, if it's just used to perform a burst attack, it's no problem to summon ninety-nine "Glowing Sword Gods" in half a minute.

There's also the "Determination" trait that can break any defense, and now it can even be used on its own fists.

Li Qiuzhi smiled, temporarily suppressing the idea of imagining the various ways to use the god-level skill of "Radiant Power".

Start using the "Glowing Power" spatial shuttle feature to rush to the side of Haiqi Island, and complete the current task first.

He took a step forward, and then silently disappeared into the void in front of him as if the "Glowing Sword God" had once launched a sword qi to attack.

When Li Qiuzhi appeared again, it was like shrinking the ground into inches, and he directly stepped out several kilometers away and appeared quietly!

The same was true of the second step, and by the time the third step was finished, he had already appeared in front of the camp of the Haiqi army.

"What people!"

The soldiers guarding the camp of the Haiqi Army were still startled when they saw a person suddenly appear in front of everyone out of thin air, even if they had excellent psychological quality.

Li Qiuzhi just wanted to explain, but one of the soldiers looked at him and said as if he remembered something:

"Hey, this seems to be the 'Honorary General' that Sangonomiya-sama said in his announcement, I remember that he did a great job to abolish the bad government of the shogunate!"

"Yes, it seems that it is indeed the 'honorary general', yes, if it is him, it is normal to appear out of thin air."

Another soldier said the same.

Soon the soldiers recognized Li Qiuzhi one after another, and he was also a little relieved, it seemed that he didn't have to spend time explaining.

Li Qiuzhi smiled and said:

"Hello everyone, I'm here to find Kokomi-sama, please report it."

"Yes, Honorary General!"

The first soldier who recognized Li Qiuzhi just now immediately took the initiative to take the order and walked to the camp to report to the heart of the coral palace.

It wasn't long before Kokomi, who had long coral-colored hair and white over-the-knee socks wrapped around her legs, walked out after the soldier.

Next to her was Goro, a victorious general.

"It's you, why did you come over here?"

Sangonomiya Kokomi's boots stepped on the sandy ground, leaving shallow footprints one by one, and walked in front of Li Qiuzhi and asked with a smile.

"I've been invited by the shogunate to make peace, so let's go inside and talk about it."

Since this is not something that cannot be said, Li Qiuzhi explained briefly first.

"Oh?" Xinhai hugged her arms and looked at him with deep blue eyes like the sea, and there was a hint of surprise in her expression, she nodded lightly and said, "Well, you can come with me." ”

Next.

Li Qiuzhi followed Kokomi and Gorou to a room in the camp, which looked like a conference room or something.

There are a lot of tables and chairs, and the sunlight outside the window shines in, making it particularly bright here.

"Honorary Shogun, did you bring any news from the shogunate?" Sangonomiya Kokomi asked Li Qiuzhi to sit down on the chair while asking curiously.

"That's it." Li Qiuzhi naturally did not hide it from Xinhai, and told the conditions on the shogunate's side.

After listening to Li Qiuzhi's words, Sangonomiya's fair face showed a little dissatisfaction:

"Hmph, Haiqi Island has been governed by the 'Present God Witch' as the supreme leader for generations, why should they be supervised!"

"Sangonomiya-sama is right, and not everyone in the shogunate thinks that peace talks are a good thing, so if they want to supervise it, maybe they will deliberately embarrass us!"

Gorou didn't trust the shogunate either.

"What do you think is the right way to do that?"

Li Qiuzhi was called by the general to make peace because he had a relationship with Xinhai, and he was not a professional in how to negotiate, so he just asked directly.

There's no need for any mental gambling or anything like that.

"The hope of everyone on Kaiqi Island is that we will be completely autonomous, without any human interference, and then we can trade with the other cities of Inazuma normally.

"Of course, we will also fulfill our obligation to protect Inazuma, after all, Kaiqi Island is also a part of Inazuma."

Sangonomiya Kokomi spoke her mind.

To put it simply, as before, Kaiqi Island developed its own way, and the shogunate could not interfere, but they would also do a good job of the taxes they should have and the obligation to protect Inazuma.

Of course, Kaiqi Island has done its duty, and the shogunate has to actively come up with policies to conduct business and cultural exchanges with Kaiqi Island.

Li Qiuzhi thought about it, and felt that what Xinhai said was quite reasonable, since the problem could not be solved for the time being, it was not bad to maintain the original appearance.

"It can be seen that the shogunate is quite sincere in asking you to come over to persuade peace, as long as the shogunate agrees to our conditions, we can also take a step back in terms of taxes.

"Tax exemption for two years, let Haiqi Island recuperate, and return to normal in the third year?"

Sangonomiya Kokomi, it seems that he has already thought about this condition for a long time, and he just took this opportunity to say it.

"Well, I think it's good, but I'll have to go back and ask Kujou Sara first, she's in charge of this now."

Li Qiuzhi nodded, he definitely couldn't decide, so he had to go back and talk to Kujou Sara.

If she can also take a step back, so that both sides take a step back, so that there is no problem in reaching a consensus.

"Okay, Honorary General, then I'll leave this matter to you."

Sangonomiya said with a smile on his face.

She saw that Li Qiuzhi didn't blindly talk to the other party because he was the person invited by the shogunate to make peace.

At the same time, he also took into account the interests of Haiqi Island, so he had a slightly better impression of him.

It seems that he is still the "honorary general" who has his heart set on our Haiqi Island!

[Sangonomiya Kokomi has a favor for you, gain 320 opinion points, and the current opinion level is 6 (280/600)]

Li Qiuzhi looked at the goodwill prompt that popped up, and was a little happy in his heart.

It seems that this person who is said to be reconciling the contradictions between the two sides is actually a similar job to the "microphone", which is quite good.
